In Krishnamurti's view, what is unnecessary for self-realization?
Authority
Solitude
Reading
Travelling
Answer
According to Krishnamurti, authority is unnecessary for self-realization because it is based on the belief that someone else knows what is best for us. This belief prevents us from thinking for ourselves and from developing our own understanding of the world. When we rely on authority, we are giving up our power and our freedom.
